Vanity Fair has a nice interview with the woman from the ermahgerd meme<\/a><\/p>\n

Russia has made a Blade-Runner-Hunger-Games movie based on the party game “Mafia”\/”Werewolf” (trailer is here<\/a>). I think this makes perfect sense but everyone else is freaking out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some people want to Boycott Star Wars because it is against white people!<\/a>
\nActually they were just trolling everyone!<\/a>
\n(Some say these guys meant it and are now saying they were just trolling as the reaction pours in. I think they never meant it, because internet!rebel! culture promotes a discursive style where meaning is actively suppressed, everything is just provocative words, and meaning\/purpose can be added post-hoc to serve strategic needs. The reason they get away with it is that a surprising amount of human interaction works exactly like this; they’re just using the form to cause trouble.)
\nAnyway: Some better reasons to boycott Star Wars<\/a>, of which my favourite is:
\n“He\u2019s more machine now than man, twisted and evil.” Kind of a jerk thing to say about someone whose machine prostheses are the result of you cutting off his limbs and leaving him in a volcano earlier, leaving aside the other ways this is problematic.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fake Halloween costumes by a prank artist<\/a>. I’m going to be scared-of-socks this year. (Scroll down the page to see his great Trump bit, too.)<\/p>\n
